Parent article: A look at VirtualBox 4.0

I greatly missed a comparison in this article with virtmanager/kvm. It's all well and good to compare with proprietary alternatives that I haven't either used or considered, but I'd be much more interested in a comparison with the free software alternative that I have had the opportunity to try out!

Unlike virtmanager, VirtualBox features a decent and professional looking user interface. Unlike virtmanager, I did not have to "teach myself" how to use VirtualBox. I just pressed a few buttons here and there and off I went with my virtual machines. It's a world apart.

This was my experience a few months ago at VirtualBox 3.2 times.
